New Optoma HD33 HD3300 1080p 3D Projector Review - Page 92

What model avr do you have?

I used to have similar issues with PS3 not detecting new display devices as 3D. One thing that worked always is to reset PS3 by holding the power button for 10 sec and once it resets, it will allow you to specify the screen size etc and it also detects it a 3D. If that doesnt help try using a different or shorter HDMI cable.

Onkyo TX-SR607

If your AV is not 3D capable, then you need to connect PS3 directly to PJ and use the optical cable for audio. However you will lose HD audio in 3D mode. I bought a Samsung 6700 dual-HDMI bluray player that solved this problem for me.

Yeah I was afraid of that. I need the switching capability so that I can have more than one video source and only one cable to the projector. Thanks for the help though...

Onkyo released a newer version of your receiver called the TX-NR609, which added HDMI 1.4 3D support.

The 08 series is capable of this as well as far as I know.

You are correct.

Then why am I able to get 3D from my older Onkyo TX SR-806? Try using high speed cables first before going to lossy Optical.

Wal Mart carries their own proprietary brand (ION) and they're cheap as hell...and they work.

I know price talk is forbidden, however with black Friday coming up, has anyone found any good deals on this projector?....just give hints, not prices. lol.

^^^^ That.

And make sure any hdmi "conversion" (up or otherwise) is off in the avr.

Also, i have hear of people getting 3d results once they get the ps3 and 3d projector set up, then adding the avr to the mix. once you get the ps3 set up with the hd33, try plugging everything in through the avr and see what you get.

Would Samsung IR glasses SGG 2100 work with HD33 (through some IR emitter)?

Please help

Is there a way to upgrade the system software (factory OS of HD33) and is it needed?

You could use a Gefen HDMI detective in between the PS3 and receiver. I'm not sure how it effects the audio passed thru though. It may even improve lag caused by handshakes.

OK, I don't want to sound trite, but have you gone into the projector menu and selected 3D to make sure it is on? Even if it doesn't automatically select it, you can manually select it.

You're not kidding there! Ever since I went Apple in 2007, it's almost unbearable to deal with other company's customer support! An Apple projector......nah It'd be too expensive, and not 3D, (It's a bag of hurt!)....
Love you Apple!

I've been curious about what you've said here, but want to clarify what I'm thinking. I haven't lost any settings at all, but I was a little disappointed that I couldn't have different contrast, tint, etc. settings for 1080p, 1080i, 720p? Even when I switched from HDMI 1, to HDMI 2, it wouldn't let me save two different user settings? Is this normal? I kinda gave up on the cable tv picture because I when I found a setting that was somewhat bearable, it changed the setting for my BD player, also? (My BD player is on HDMI 1, going through a receiver, and my cable box is on HDMI 2, going through the receiver at 1080i) Or, are we only supposed to have one setting being able to be saved for Cinema, Reference, Photo, Bright, 3D, and User. This is why I'd like to have a couple addition settings like the ISF Day and Night, that I could make whatever I wanted. Should we ever mess with the other settings, except for the 3D, because they can all be programmed to be the same if wanted, or are they different temps., etc. A little confusing....Thanks!!!

And it would only play movies from iTunes.

Because the cable box 3D doesn't use field sequential 3D, it uses SBS, Top and Bottom, which don't rely on the newest 3D HDMI spec. (I think I said that kinda right.) I have the Onkyo TX-SR876, and cable 3D works fine, but none of the BD 3D works.....The price of new technology....

Exactly! The easiest and cheaper way. I hate to replace my receiver when it's really not that old, and cost way too much. I love the BD-D6700.

exactly!!!

This will not work to pass the 3D signal from a BD. The HDMI handshake will not go through correctly. The audio would play fine, but no 3D BD. All the connections have to handshake 1.4 or above, I believe. The receiver would send a 1.3, and break the chain. I would love to hear of someone getting one of these to work?

No worries. You'd eventually be able to jailbreak it and then it would be capable of throwing a 4k image and teleportation.

I have to say I'm an avid user of Handbrake now because of Apple. I want all my video's to be in m4v format so i can have it with me anywhere and on all my devices with no hiccups. I love it.

Come to think of it...I have only tried 3D xbox and PS3 games, not Blu Rays through my receiver. I'll try it and see. At any rate, I anticipated it to NOT work, so I bought a Samsung BD-D6700 with dual hdmi and it throws a phenomenal picture and, thanks to the other hdmi, lossless sound.

Hi

I have the RF glasses. I have plugged them into my blackberry charger. How do I tell if they are charging? How do I tell if they are fully charged? Also, how long do you have to hold power button down to shut them off?

It seems Apple is best positioned to come up with a revolutionary projector with many bells and whistles for rich comman man...not sure why they want to go the TV route which is already too crammed

Time to update my Sony VLP-HS51 with the HD-33

Control! More specific, rich content media delivery/control ..... plain and simple.

Apple always been about "make your own hardware to control your own software/OS". Say they grab a good portion of the TV market, combine that with the good amount of control they have in the mobile handheld, tablet, desktop and laptop market, they will not only sell the public a good portion of what they receive/view their content on, but also control how it's delivered.

That's power right there.
